Re: What Song Are You Listening To Now┐

One day while I was away from home, I suddenly smelt out the liniment my mother uses daily in my coat's left arm, I cried missing her, my home, my everything from a single armed chair, a table lamp to even the strange stores I passed by during morning exercises.

Re: What Song Are You Listening To Now┐

disappointed with yesterday's choice. My daughter chose an Afrikaans mix CD. Some good songs, really good songs, But, I listened to it like two weeks ago, so it bored me.. Afrikaans music these days in general suck! It is too commercialised and every tom dick and harry think they can sing. I can also make nice rhymes with words that do not fit. - The only thing you need is money and you're already halfway. I am serious.

one of my friends writes the most beautiful songs. Compose them the lot. Genuine good. Unfortunately every time he has enetered a competition, the people tell him that his songs are not spunky enough. It is as if we are trying to copy overseas talent. In my day, I remember good Afrikaans songs. Now, you can probably relate that each language has its distinct sound and distinct style of music. that is what SA is forgetting!

It got so bad that my friend decided not to enter competitions again - this means he'll never get noticed. I kind of relate to that, but on a writer's perspective. Every time I submit a manuscript, I get told that the theme is too dark, and it is unfortunately not what they're looking for...

Anyways, today I let my daughter choose any album, as it is her birthday
